Can I tether the internet connection from a smartphone to my iPod?

Hello everyone,
I own iPod Touch 4 with iOS 4.3.3 (8J2). I want my iPod be able to connect to the internet when WiFi broadcasting is not available around while I am on the go.
So my question is: Can I tether the internet connection from a smartphone to my iPod? With which smartphone or mobile OS other than iPhone/iOS?
I don't want to JB my iPod Touch.
I heard that smartphones with Android can tether the internet connection to iPod Touch, bu I am not sure, I searched the internet but couldn't find anything as I wanted.
Thanks, regards.
Erhan T.

I've got a (now considered ancient) Nokia N95 8 GB mobile, with the app JoikuSpot Light on it - has been working really well though I wouldn't suggest buying Nokia if you were going to buy a new mobile...if you happen to get your hands on an old-ish Nokia or Ericsson (Symbian platform) Joiku will do a good job of creating a wifi hotspot.

Good luck 8-)

When I'm out of range for Wi-Fi on iPad, can I use the Internet connection from my iPhone 5?

I only get Internet on my iPad when I have my wireless router. When I'm out if range can I piggyback with my iPhone5? If so, how.

Yes, you can use the hot spot feature of the iPhone 5 to create a WiF Access Point.

IMac hogging the internet connection from PC

I have a serious issue with my iMac hogging the internet connection from my boyfriends PC. If I download he can't even look at a youtube video. Does anyone have a solution or an explanation?
It's driving us both mad!

Hmm. Basically it sounds like when you connect you 'steal' the Internet connection and I can think of two ways that would happen. Open System Preferences and select the Network tab. Now click on the advanced button then in the top tab click on TCP/IP and you'll something like this:
Note that in the graphic above, next to Configure IPv4 you see Using DHCP. I'm wondering if yours is set differently. For that matter, I'm wondering how his computer is set up too.

I got data, but i can't use the internet today from my iphone 4

i got data, but i can't use the internet today from my iphone 4
it says "could not activate cellular data network
you are not subscribed to a cellular data service"

Hello - This isn't a response since I have the EXACT problem. I paid "MyTechHelp" $100 because they said they could fix it and they couldn't. I've narrowed my understanding to this:
1. The phone does not need to be jailbroken
2. Plug the phone into iTunes and back up the phone then restore and it will be Unlocked. I got a message from iTunes saying congratulations "your phone is unlocked"
3. Don't pay to unlock or jailbreak ..I wasted $200 already doing that
4. The APN needs to be reset to your carrier ... If I figure out how I'll respond soon
5. I tried unlockit.co.nz and that doesn't work

How can I get the virtual connection from connection pool?

Hi, All, I create the connection pool to Database, then call connPool->createConnetion("scoot","tiger") , it creates a new physical connection to database, not from connection pool. I check the busy number of connection in connection pool, it always 0.
here is my code, please give me advice.Thanks!
int minConn,maxConn,incrConn;
minConn = 4;
maxConn = 5; //nMax;
incrConn = 1;
if(env == 0x0)
env = Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::DEFAULT);
if (connPool == 0x0)
connPool = env->createConnectionPool("scott", "tiger","test.oracle.com", minConn, maxConn, incrConn);
// here already has 4 physical connections to database;
Connection con,con2,*con3;
Statement *stmt;
int nBusy = connPool->getBusyConnections();
//nBusy = 0
try
con = connPool->createConnection (szUser, szPassword);
// create a new physical connection to database
nBusy = connPool->getBusyConnections();
//nBusy = 0
con2 = connPool->createConnection ("scott", "tiger");
nBusy = connPool->getBusyConnections();
}catch(SQLExecption ex)
cout<<ex.what();

What you are creating are virtual connections. They do logons using the already existing connections in the pool. The real connections from the pool are picked only before doing a round-trip and released immediately after completing the round-trip. You can see the busyConnetions higher than 1, only when you are using the connections concurrently.

HT1296 I can't sync the whole playlist from my computer to my iPod touch. Songs which don't sync have a dotted circle in front of the title?

I can't sync the complete playlist from my PC to my iPos touch. Songs which don't transfer have a dotted grey circle in front of the title?

Hey, I had the exact same problem with my transferring a new album my friend bought on my Mac, to my iphone... It took me two days to figure it out, but it could be either of 2 things:
1. You don't have the "manually manage music and videos" box checked. If you check it, then try to click and drag it over to your music on your device, it should then sync (on iTunes 11) This was my problem, and I checked that box, and it transferred and downloaded instantly
2. You don't have enough memory space on your device to put the playlist on. This was the problem for a lot of other people, not me, but they said it worked once they cleared some space on their device.
Hopes this helps!

What do I do if my iTunes can't recognize the internet connection?

I really need to restore my iPod and upgrade iTunes, but for some reason iTunes can't recognize my internet. I know the nternet is working, because everything else internet required works. IT's just iTunes that doesn't. It has always worked before, but I don't understand why it won't now. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I'd really appreciate them. Thankyou.

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than Network connectivity tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

How can i share my internet connection from macbook pro to my iphone?

i need your help..

On your MBP, from the Apple menu, select System Preferences, click the Sharing icon, and then click Internet Sharing. Select the way your computer is connected to the Internet under "Share your connection from" (ethernet probably), In the "To computers using", select the WiFi check box.
Click the WiFi Options button and assign your new network a name. Turn on encryption if you like, enter a password, and click OK.
Back in the Sharing pane, click the Start button in the Internet Sharing section.
(to turn sharing off, go to the same place and click stop.)
On your iPhone, turn on WiFi under Settings > WiFi
Your iPhone serches for WiFi networks and yours should pop up with the name you gave it. If you turned on encryption (which you should to protect your data) enter the password and click Join.

Are both of your Apple routers configured for an extended or roaming network?

Sharing internet connection from MacBook Pro to iMac G3

My goal here is to connect my iMac G3 (that I just got) to my cable internet connection. However, there are some hurdles in doing so. On the other side of my house lies my modem. It's connected to a D-Link wireless router to give my PC, Xbox 360, Wii and MacBook Pro internet all at the same time. It's too far to drag an ethernet cable, and the iMac G3 doesn't have an AirPort card (and $99 for a used wireless b adapter is ridiculous).
From what I've gathered online, OS X can share it's internet connection with another Mac via FireWire, ethernet or AirPort. AirPort is out of the question since that's how my MacBook Pro connects to the net, and since the iMac G3 doesn't have an AirPort card. I don't have anything that uses FireWire, so othe port on both machines is free, but I also don't have a cable to connect the two. I do, however, have a few spare ethernet cables, so I'd like to get this setup using them.
Thing is, I can't get it to work. Simply enabling internet sharing in System Preferences does diddly squat, and no connection is found with Network Utility on the iMac. What I'd really like here is for someone to either instruct me on how to get this to work, or point me in the direction of such an article. I haven't been able to find anything with Google so far...
Now, my MacBook Pro obvioously runs 10.4.9 with all the updates. The iMac G3, however, is running 10.3.5 at the moment. While I will be upgrading it to tiger in the near future, I kinda wanted to play around with Internet Expplorer before doing so. Being new to the Mac and all (the MBP is my first Mac), I've never used Internet Exporer on the Mac -- or 10.3 at all really, for that matter. So if it can be done, I'd like to do this with 10.3 still on the iMac, though I could upgrade it to tiger if I HAD to.
Should it matter, the iMac G3 is a 400MHz indigo unit with 256MB RAM and a 10GB HDD. It's the summer '00 model. The MacBook Pro is a revision A system with a 1.83GHz Core Duo inside. More detailed specs can be found within my profile on here, I believe.
Sorry for such a long winded post...
1.83GHz MacBook Pro 15"; 400MHz iMac G3 Indigo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Lost me there... is it Ethernet cables you're using even though it's too far? Or What?
Should be no problem Sharing the Internet connection from 101.4.9 to 10.3.x.
Just waiting for more info or clarity.

Having problems sharing internet Connection from Macbook to Vonage Adapter

Hello,
I just got my Vonage adaptor and I am trying to share the Internet connection from my Macbook Pro (10.7.3) to the Adaptor to use the Vonage service bc my router is downstairs.
I turned off my Firewall, hooked my Vonage adapter to the Macbook with the ethernet cable and then went to Sys Preferences > Sharing > Selected Internet Sharing > Share Connection from Wifi to computers using Ethernet, and it looks like everything is ok but when i try to use the phone which is connected to to Vonage Adapter, it says "Your Vonage device cannot connect to the internet, check to see if your high speed internet is down".
I went and looked at my Network preferences and it shows Ethernet connected which is the Vonage Adapter and gives the following:
IP Address: 169.254.163.167
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Is there something Im doing wrong? Ive seen on several forums that its possible to do but having bad luck. Any help is appreciated.

All I know is that I got Ubuntu to share internet and offer IPs through DHCP by using Firestarter. I am very new to Solaris, however, and am looking forward to learning about it. I've just made it my regular desktop environment. Long as you can get Solaris to configure its network interface with DHCP after your Ubuntu is configured, you should be able to share to as many clients as you'd like. Fedora also works well for that, and in my opinion, it's a better Linux than Ubuntu, though Solaris remains a better Linux than Linux, right? Har.

How do i get an internet connection from my Mac to my iPad using a usb cable?

I have a Mac connected to the internet through a modem. However, i also want my iPad to share this connection through the usb cable. Is this possible? If not, is there any other way i can get my iPad to share the internet connection from my Mac?

It look like you can turn your mac into a hotspot and connect your ipad to it via wifi.

How to share internet connection from cable modem through built-in airport on imac?

I have a cable modem with ethernet going into imac. How can I share the internet connection using the iMacs built in airport with other computers that have airport cards?
I would love to put an ethernet router between the imac and the modem and share the internet connection using the iMacs built in airport with other computers that have airport cards as well.
Thanks!

The setup I had working is what I have connected to the internet now. A cable modem with one ethernet jack that plugs into the iMac. The airport from the iMac broadcast to my G5 with an airport card in it and received the internet connection. The PC received it the same way from the iMac but to a Netgear wireless adapter.
I messed things up recently adding a wired 4 port ethernet router between the iMac and the modem, so that the modem ethernet plugged into the router, and from the router, plugged into the iMac which then could receive the internet but no more airport connections to my other machines. Haven't been able to get it working since.
